Trapped by injuries, the league's former overlord Warriors were silent for two consecutive seasons, until this season, when Players such as Curry and Dream chased got rid of injuries, and the team got back on track.
At the same time, Clay, who has been absent for two years due to injury, has also been sending good news, he has fully recovered and is looking for the right time to return.
And the Warriors officially released Clay's training footage, Clay also admitted in the interview that he was close to coming back, and Kerr, who had always been tight-lipped, could not hide his excitement, shouting that it was really cool to see the splash at the same time.
Before the Warriors' game against the Jazz, Clay went to the court early to warm up, although he would not play in this game, but it is not difficult to see Clay's fiery personal state from the video posted by the team.
In a short training video, Clay hit 24 consecutive three-pointers in the bottom corner, and when he lost his 25th three-pointer, Clay roared in chagrin.
Combined with a series of previously exposed news, it can be confirmed that Clay is indeed close to a comeback, and after experiencing a major injury, Clay's state is still hot, the three-point shot is completely worth looking forward to, and he is eager to prove himself.
In an interview after the team's training, Clay also admitted that he was close to a comeback, saying that he was in very good shape.
But the specific comeback time depends on what the team's team doctor and physical therapist give, as for the state after the return, Clay said it may take a few games to find the form, and then reach the All-Star level performance in a few weeks.
From a small detail, you can also see clay's eager return mood and trying to quickly integrate into the team's attitude, after personal training, Clay also picked up the ball for his teammates on the sidelines, and played the ball boy to pass the ball to his teammates continuously.
In addition, Warriors head coach Kerr also said in an interview with the radio show Damon & Ratto that it is very exciting to see the Splash Brothers playing together again.
Kerr said he just wanted to say it was all fun and didn't want to describe how excited he was, and that everyone knows Curry and Klay very well for those who have been with the Warriors for many years, including himself.
So it's really cool to be able to see Clay on the court again, to see Curry and Clay playing on the court again after two and a half years.
Cole then lamented that Clay's experience over the past two years had been crazy.
At the end of his career in the 19-year finals, Clay was at the peak of his career, and then he suffered a series of major injuries, which gave him an extraordinary experience.
But I'm glad Clay persevered and came to where he is now.
From this series of speeches, it is not difficult to see that the Warriors and Kerr attach importance to Clay, as well as the expectations for Clay's return.
However, due to the deep rotation of the Warriors lineup, Clay's return is destined to break the existing chemistry, but the Warriors' attitude is very clear, and Kerr has publicly stated that as long as Clay returns, he will be the team's stable starter.
What's more interesting is that Poole, who has occupied Clay's starting lineup since the beginning of the season, is also very much looking forward to Clay's return, and said that as long as Clay can return, then he must be ready.
It is worth mentioning that in the Warriors' game against the Jazz, Kerr took the initiative to change the team and put Payton Jr. in the starting lineup, and Poole fell out of the starting lineup, which was also his first time this season.
Combined with the previous remarks about Clay's upcoming comeback, Kerr seems to be warming up for Clay's return, so that Poole is psychologically ready to fall out of the starting lineup in advance.
